Parametric Study of the Device Angle Dependency of a Single Vortex Generator on a Flat Plate
(2014-01-23)
[EN] A detailed study of the device angle dependency of a single vortex generator (VG) is presented in this paper. A single Vortex Generator on a test section wall case, with four different positions of the device angle ...
Self-Similarity and helical symmetry in vortex generator flow simulations
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
According to experimental observations, the vortices generated by vortex generators have previously been observed to be self-similar for both the axial (u(z)) and azimuthal (u(circle minus)) velocity profiles. Further, the ...
Rhythm Analysis during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Past, Present, and Future
(Hindawi, 2014-01)
Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest depends largely on two factors: early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation. CPR must be interrupted for a reliable automated rhythm analysis because chest ...
Identification of the main allergen sensitizers in an Iran asthmatic population by molecular diagnosis
(Biomed Central, 2014-08-05)
Background: There has been a significant growth in the prevalence of allergy, mainly associated to IgE-mediated disorders such as asthma and rhinitis. The identification of atopy in asthmatic patients through the measurement ...
Digital Quantum Rabi and Dicke Models in Superconducting Circuits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-12-15)
We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in ...
Specific Interaction with Cardiolipin Triggers Functional Activation of Dynamin-Related Protein 1
(Public Library Science, 2014-07-18)
Dynamin-Related Protein 1 (Drp1), a large GTPase of the dynamin superfamily, is required for mitochondrial fission in healthy and apoptotic cells. Drp1 activation is a complex process that involves translocation from the ...
Evaluation of Fentanyl Disposition and Effects in Newborn Piglets as an Experimental Model for Human Neonates
(Public Library Science, 2014-03-04)
Background: Fentanyl is widely used off-label in NICU. Our aim was to investigate its cerebral, cardiovascular and pulmonary effects as well as pharmacokinetics in an experimental model for neonates.
Methods: Fentanyl ...
Biomimetic Cloning of Quantum Observables
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-05-09)
We propose a bio-inspired sequential quantum protocol for the cloning and preservation of the statistics associated to quantum observables of a given system. It combines the cloning of a set of commuting observables, ...
Evaluation of marine phytoplankton toxicity by application of marine invertebrate bioassays
(Instituto de Ciencias del Mar, 2014-06)
The dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum and the haptophyte Prymnesium parvum are well known for their toxin production and negative effects in marine coastal environments. A. minutum produces toxins which cause paralytic ...
BAMS: A Tool for Supervised Burned Area Mapping Using Landsat Data
(MDPI, 2014-12)
A new supervised burned area mapping software named BAMS (Burned Area Mapping Software) is presented in this paper. The tool was built from standard ArcGIS (TM) libraries. It computes several of the spectral indexes most ...
